Apparently a Bognor based popular beat combo, and that pic is in London, I believe. No guarantees it made it back, though.

Hillman Minx has broken down on double-yellow lines. And overtaken by a DAF or an A40?

Nantwich sounds like a Ken Dodd joke...

It was 1974 (along with local government reorganisation) when Barnsley (HE), Doncaster (DT) and Rotherham (ET) were added to Sheffield ((W), WA, WB, WE and WJ) as part of the new South Yorkshire registration system as well as former Bradford marks AK, KU, KW, KY, former East York's WF and former Stirling WG
